03 / Active involvement in noise research We are conducting research for quieter flying. We are identifying noise sources and deriving options for action from what we find. We are participating in studies on the effects of noise. We have been involved in the Quiet Traffic research network for 15 years. 01 / Investments in the most advanced aircraft We always put a premium on having the most advanced technologies. 261 new aircraft will be delivered to us between 2014 and 2025. We buy the quietest engines available on the market. We are thereby considerably reducing the noise burden on people living in the vicinity of airports.

All Lufthansa B 737 aircraft stationed in Frankfurt have been equipped with noise mufflers. 12 // More quietly into the future
